| * Jailed: Matthew Read |
Matthew Read, 34, formerly of Abbey Road, was pulled over by police as he left the M25 at Swanley on December 1 last year.
He pleaded guilty to possessing a class A drug with intent to supply and was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on April 22.
The court heard how Read was driving his rented Volkswagen Golf to a car park in Chafford Hundred, Essex, at about 1.15pm on the day in question.
According to the report, he was seen to meet with a second man, who placed a package on the back seat in exchange for a carrier bag believed to have contained a quantity of cash. Both men then left the car park.
Detective Constable Dave Bull of the Kent and Essex serious crime directorate, who is investigating , said: “Matthew Read’s arrest resulted in a significant amount of class A drugs being removed from the streets of Kent.
“The cocaine was found to be of a purity between 93 and 97 per cent, which is remarkably high and considered to be of import quality.
“He was caught with a huge amount of cocaine in his possession, which I am in no doubt he intended to sell on.”
